avidinha Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) I built this using a Jimmy Flintstone body and parts from an AMT '58 Edsel and a Revell '57 Ford wagon. I lowered the suspension and used 4 rear wheels and tires from a Foose Caddy. My mom said her dad had a red and white one when she was a kid in Oregon, so I painted it to match and added some Oregon plates from my parts box. Edited November 12, 2022 by avidinha 6
70 Sting Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 Beautiful car. Bet it looks great on display. ?
Misha Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 Great looking build Andrew! Your conversion is striking and the colour choice is bang on, and the Oregon plate is the finishing touch to your replica . Cheers Misha
espo Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 Great looking wagon. Despite the bad jokes of the time, I always thought the Edsel was a good-looking styling. Nice color combination and a smooth paint finish.
happy grumpy Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 Beautiful Edsel in a station wagon configuration. I like it.
XYHARRY Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 Nice build Andrew. Colour combo, wheels and stance are spot on. Oregon plates are a nice tribute to your Grandad. Cheers, David. ??
Calb56 Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 Beautiful Edsel. Love station wagons and cool to see something running Oregon plates! Charles

Plowboy Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 Looks nice Andrew! It's always cool to see the different cars built. The Edsel is just something you don't see that often. The wheels and tires from the Eldorod suits it nicely!
TransAmMike Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 Great looking Edsel Andrew. The detailing on the front end is very nice.
Horrorshow Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 Love the 58 Edsel. Way underrated styling. Nice choice of red and white. Awesome looking build.
Koellefornia Kid Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 Nice one! The Foose wheels are looking great on it!
Maindrian Pace Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 Love the Edsel 2 door wagons, saw one in real life at a car show in the '90s, it was swamped by admirers. Your build looks minty.
ea0863 Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 Man, I would drive that all day long! I love the retro mod vibe. Thanks for posting!
